Application August 9, 1940, Serial No. 352,011

2 Claims.

The object of my invention is to provide novel weather stripping which may be made of any suitable material such as rubber or felt and which can be readily inserted around the edges of windows or doors, and which may be made of any desired size.

It is also an object of my invention to provide weather stripping which can be manufactured at small expense, and which in addition to functioning as weather stripping will also prevent the rattling of windows.

I attain these and other objects of my invention by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a window with my weather stripping inserted at the bottom of the window and with another strip of my weather stripping inserted at the side of the window;

Fig. 2 is a section On line 2--2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one form of my weather stripping;

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of another form of my weather stripping; and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of still another form of my weather stripping.

Like characters of reference designate like parts in each of th several views.

Referring to the drawing, there is illustrated a conventional window side panel I, window fram 2, removable window stop 3 and window stool 5. I

Referring to Fig. 3 of the drawing, my weather stripping 6 consists of a metal plate I to which a slightly curved metal strip I is welded, stamped, pressed or soldered at 8 at an angle of approximately 45 of the metal strip 4. Offset metal strip III has a wave-like edge II to facilitate its insertion. A strip of rubber or felt I2 is molded at its portion 9, engaging around the plate I, as shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5.

Referring to Fig. 4, there is illustrated a modification of my invention with a metal strip la having portions I3 and M folded over on the main body of the strip, the member I4 being integral with the offset strip l0.

Referring to Fig. 5, in this form of the inventlon the metal strip lb has th portions l3 and I4 folded over on the main portion of the strip in a reverse way from that shown in Fig. 4,

the offset strip l0 being integral with member I4.

In each form of the invention the weather stripping is placed in position by inserting the offset strip l0 between the panel 3 and the window sash 2, or between the sill 5 and window sash 2; and in a similar manner in doors, if the weather stripping is used on doors which are usually kept closed.

10 quickly inserted and removed. The transverse arcuate shape of the offset strip It] makes it fit tightly in any opening and the wavy edge ll facilitates insertion. Th form of the invention shown in Figs. 4 and 5 can be readily manufactured by a stamping or pressing process for the members Ia. and 1b.

The term flexible covering in the following claims is to be construed to cover either rubber or felt.

What I claim is:

1. Weather stripping consisting of a metal plate, a cover of cushioning material shaped to and engaging around the longitudinal edges of said plate, and an offset metal strip integral with th metal plate projecting from approximately the center and disposed at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the metal plate, said offset strip being slightly curved transversely and the free edge of the offset strip curving to approach the adjacent edge of the plate, the

strip being insertible between and parallel with a window casing and sash or between a door frame and door.

2. A metal Weatherstrip comprising a main body, opposite longitudinally extending edge portions folded over the inside face of the body, an extension member projecting from one of said portions along its length and at an acute angle 40 to the face of th body, a cover of cushioning material over the outside face of the body and engaging the edge portions, the extension member being slightly curved transversely and the free edge of the member curving to approach the inside face of the body, the member being insertable between and parallel with a window casing and sash or between a door frame and door.
